FAA INSTRUMENT PILOT TEST KINGS
SCHOOLS EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS
Absence of the sky condition and visibility on an ATIS broadcast specifically implies
that - ANSWER-the ceiling is more than 5,000 feet and visibility is 5 miles or more.
Thrust is managed to maintain IAS, and glide slope is being flown. What
characteristics should be observed when a headwind shears to be a constant
tailwind? - ANSWER-PITCH ATTITUDE: Decreases; REQUIRED THRUST:
Increased, then reduced; VERTICAL SPEED: Increases; IAS: Decreases, then
increases to approach speed.
Which sources of aeronautical information, when used collectively, provide the latest
status of airport conditions (e.g., runway closures, runway lighting, snow conditions)?

mountainous terrain? - ANSWER-2,000 feet above the highest obstacle within a
horizontal distance of 4 NM of the course.
